Ingredients
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 can, 14 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 2 medium stalks celery (7-1/2 – 8” long)
  • ½ jalapeño pepper, cut into ¼ inch pieces
  • 8 ounces crimini mushrooms
  • 1 large green bell pepper
  • small bunch basil—about ¾-1 cup, loosely packed
  • Small bunch fresh thyme
  • 8 ounces large shrimp (about 14 shrimp)
  • Lemon
  • 2 tbsp. Whipping Cream
  • 6 ounce baby spinach
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
  1. Cut the celery stalks into ¼ inch diced pieces set aside. Then remove the stems from the green bell pepper and cut in half; remove the pith and seeds. Dice the pepper into ¼- inch pieces. Set aside. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and throw away. Slice the mushrooms into ¼-inch pieces, set aside.
  2. Take the thyme and basil leaves off the stems, discard the stems and chop the leaves (roughly chop the basil leaves) and set aside.
  3. Using paper towels, pat the shrimp to dry them. Set aside.
  4. Using a large skillet, add 1 teaspoon butter and heat over medium – high heat. Once butter melts, add celery and green bell pepper and sauté for about 3-1/2 minutes or until soft.
  5. Add ¼ cup water, the mushrooms and one-half the can of diced tomatoes and lower the heat to medium. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to slightly thicken.
  6. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, the cream and the jalapeño to the mixture. Cover the pan and simmer until the shrimp are no longer opaque and are pink, roughly 4-1/2 minutes.
  7. Add the basil, thyme and spinach. Add salt and pepper. Divide between two bowls and enjoy.
